The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumer as well us reliev-
ing the burden Of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's
August Fiooer and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these reme-
dies, thereby giving one.ffth more medi-
cine in the 10 cent size. The Auoust
Flo,eer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage OF increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same sire.

otliciated us president of the regular
weekly meeting of the Percival Square
Church Relief society.
AT our last meeting, ladies, ' spoke
the president, "a resolution was adopted
providing for II systematic plan Of char
table work. The city was divided into
districts, and each member of this society
was assigned one district, with the under
standing that she should conilne herself
to that particularly defined field of labor.
We are now assembled for the purpose
of listening to your several reports, and
To act upon whatever recommendation

ton and expenditure OF money. The
first thing in order is the reception of re
ports from those ladies to whom districts
were assigned
After II brief pause Mrs. Precise took
the floor and read from her gold bound
tablets some memoranda concerning half
n dozen poor families that she had Wis
tied. She asked for an order on the
society's treasurer for $50, TO be ex-
pended in the purchase of food and
clothing. The appropriation was unhes-
itatingly made.

poverty and distress that had come under
her observation the day before. She had
thought best to relieve the sufferers with
out drawing ON the funds of the society.
Mrs. Closcfist asked for 81 to buy n

little girl. The ladies exchanged signifi-
cant g%lances. but no one voted against
the appropriation.
Mrs. Quicktemper regretted that inn

vented her from giving any attention TO
her district. but the next week she hoped

4 NEW LINE.

Considerable interest is taken in the
localities to be effected, in proposed
branch of railway from Kisl to Kewau
kee by way of st. Nszians, Clark's Mills
and Kellnersville. Several consultations
have been had already between the citi-
zens of the villages named on this i'm
portant matter, and the business men are
willing to contribute literally toward the
enterprise. A meeting was held on Sun
day last at which there were representa-
tives from the places named.
Those three places are almost on a di-
rect line connecting Kiel and Kewaunee.
st. Nazians is an inland village, some
what sleepy, but quite favorably located
for business. There is considerable bus.
| mess done there as it contains large
number of small tradesmen. With rail
road facilities the place would grow as it
has large extent of territory tributary
to it. St. Nazians would soon grow into
place of considerable Importance and
would rival, if not eclipse Kiel. Clark s
Mills is also a thriving village which
would derive great deal of benefit from
road, and Kellnersville, with railroad
communication, would become the en-
porium of that section of the county.
Parties in st. Nazians state that Kell
ner & Sons have agreed to give So, 900 in
aid of the enterprise, and that other bus
mess men in the villages named have ex-
pressed a willingness to contribute to the
extent of their means and in proportion
to the ADVANCE they expect will result to
them.
The line would be bad thing for
Manitowoc. 1t would cut off large
part of the trade of Liberty, Eaton, Cato,
Manitowoc Rapids, hossuth, Franklin,
Cooperstown and Gibson, which now be-
longs almost exclusively to Manitowoc.
How this railroad excitement original
ed the writer was unable to discover
Even those who were most diligent in
urging action were unable to say whether
any proposition was made by the railroad
company. But the fever is in tie blood,
fully as bad as at Kewaunee and Ahnapee.

A NEWTON MAN IN LUCK.

Theodore Prem, Newton farmer. has
struck it rich near Wausau. For years
he ran farm IL Newton, but generally
raised larger crop of debts than grain,
and as he was constantly running behind,
he sold out some years ago and purchas-
ed a tract of unimproved land near Wau-
sau. Lately when ore was discovered at
Wausau, Prehn's land was so located
that it appeared probable it contained
ore. He sold options and after some
work the parties offered him $50. 900 for
his farm, which he refused. He stands
a fair chance of being offered double that
amount.

Ii is said that the inter state commerce
vet the issuance of passes by railroad
companies unless for services performed.
This was understood by the senate from
the that the bill was so amended
as to permit the granting of passes to
railroad officials and employees, and that
reduced rates may be offered to ministers
of religion. The pass system is an evil
which demands remedy. Very few peo-
pie who can we'll afford it pay railroad
fare in the west. 1t is only the poorer
class who are without influence who pay
fare. The pass system should be

NOTHING could be less satisfactory to
Manitowoc in the way OF mail facilities
than the manner in which trains run
now. There are only two mails from
Milwaukee one in the afternoon at 2:1O
and one in the morning at about 4. The
train from the west due here about 9 in
the evening, brings mail from Chicago,
but Of course it cannot be obtained
before the following morning. So that
practically there is only one mail from
Milwaukee each day. The early morn
ing train on Sunday is discontinued,
and SO we can have no Sunday papers.
There is no evening mail through the
week and hence no evening papers.
The Milwaukee Journal will feel this as
it had a circulation of about 20 in the
city, which will now be wholly dropped.
